title: [Application of radiofrequency ablation for treatment of localized renal carcinoma].
abstract: An evaluation of the results of radiofrequency ablation of renal clear-cell carcinoma (pT1aN0M0) in 7 patients is presented. The longest follow-up was 26 months, the shortest--4 months. No complication was reported. A review of the literature and our own experience point to radiofrequency ablation being an effective procedure of thermotherapy for small-size peripheral renal neoplasms.
